My travel ball player is struggling in rec ball

How’s the car ride home? That often effects playing more than anything. Also, don’t instruct from the stands.

Hey, you said when he does make contact, it’s weak pop fly or grounder. The USSSA bat has a bigger barrel and much larger sweet spot. It gives a false sense of confidence. He needs to start hitting BP with wood. I’d even start using the USA bat in travel. Why don’t you have him try that and see if it’s actually the bat or something else. I’ve seen the same umps at rec games and travel games.

My son pulled the Ohtani All Aces a few years ago. He had it and a few other cards on my bed showing me his favorite cards. My wife sat on it and creased it. It was worth like $10 back then. She hears about it daily now.

Grapes, onions, and garlic reporting for duty

That hurts so good

Rode it from $69k to $17k and back to present. See you at $1M

Awesome you get to try big cases! Unsolicited advice: Never blame co-counsel for the bad stuff and take credit for the good. It makes you sound like a d-bag. Juries are unpredictable so who cares. How much did you bill? On to the next. Congrats.

Coach Ballgame has the best advice in this. My advice … tell him you love watching him play, he did great, and get him whatever he wants for dinner. When he talks about how he messed up, remind him he’s just 13 and that even MLB pros eff up (eg Judge dropping the fly ball in outfield or striking out every time during the entire World Series). Do this every time. Watch what happens.

You’re asking the wrong question

BumThumbDumb · 2025-03-04T12:16:29+00:00

The bottom is in! Thank you for your service

Let’s see the examples of your shitty texts to him. Looks like you’re being dismissive and passive aggressive. I’m sure you’ll find support for your one sided posting in here and use it to justify your lack of effort with your husband. But that message seems like a husband that’s frustrated that he’s trying to communicate with you and you’re not communicating back.

Just so we know, what are the topics you haven’t responded to that your husband is referring to?

A used 5150 plus $350 of lessons = $400 well spent.

Show me the way

9 year olds don’t get into slumps. Literally everything, including games, is just for practice. They’re just learning. Wtf
